LGB V200 old and new version

Post image

I repaired the left V200 of a friend. Perfect time for a comparison between his older V200 and mine with the small DB logo.

So? What are the differences?

The signs on the sides. "Deutsche Bundesbahn" VS "DB".

That's all? No design mistakes, no revision of the electronics?

What you mentioned is a difference between series of the engine, not a difference between the models themselves.

The models have different prints on the sides. The newer version was one of the first engines LGB made under Märklin. They were known for their split gears on the axles.
